Fitbit Luxe: Sleek and Stylish

Do you like the idea of a fitness tracker, but you haven’t found one that suits your sense of style? The Fitbit Luxe might be right up your alley.

It offers all the basics Fitbit is known for, including 24/7 heart rate monitoring, step counting, more than 20 exercise modes for workout tracking, a swim-proof design, reminders to move, sleep insights, stress management tools, and smartphone notifications, in a fashion-forward design you’ll want to wear. It’s thinner than the Fitbit Charge 4 and Inspire 2, making it more comfortable to wear while sleeping and a better fit for small wrists, and it features a stainless-steel case and an AMOLED color display for a significant step up in style. It lacks the altimeter, GPS, and mobile payment support you get with the Charge 4 ($129.95), and it has about half the battery life of the Inspire 2 ($99.95), but the Luxe offers a more attractive take on the basics, making it the best Fitbit if you’re serious about style.

A STREAMLINED DESIGN

Measuring 1.43 by 0.69 by 0.40 inches (LWH), the Luxe stands out among Fitbit’s other trackers for its AMOLED color display and stainless-steel case. These details give it a more sophisticated look than the Inspire 2 or Charge 4, both of which are around 0.1inch thicker, feature plastic cases, and have grayscale screens.

For comparison, the entry-level Inspire 2 is a good starter model that offers the longest battery life of any Fitbit device. The Charge 4 is Fitbit’s most advanced fitness tracker, offering a standalone GPS to map your exercise route without a phone, an altimeter to track your floors climbed, Spotify support, and Fitbit Pay for mobile payments. The Luxe offers similar features and functionality to the Inspire 2 but blends function and form with an elevated, jewelry-inspired design.
